Capitoline Museum was photographed in Rome in February 2020. The statuary is of Emperor Constantine, also known as Constantine the Great, who was the Roman emperor from 306 to 337 A.D. He is perhaps best known as being the first Christian Roman emperor.

ARTIST STATEMENT
I am drawn to document historic architecture, interiors, and gardens that date from the 11th to the 19th centuries. I look to represent both the classical motifs and the beauty that is found in these historic structures as well as present a backdrop for the imagination of lives lived. The formality in much of the work is guided by the desire for a sense of order in the world of experience.
